Abstract
A trashcan assembly includes a container having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, a rim of said peripheral wall defining an opening extending into said container; and a bag engaging member located in an area of said peripheral wall The bag engaging member includes a housing separate from said peripheral wall, said housing having a surface that is generally parallel to a plane of said peripheral wall in said area and is configured for receiving a portion of a trash bag for securing the trash bag to an outer surface of said peripheral wall. A trash bag may be extended over said rim and secured to said peripheral wall with said bag engaging member.
Claims22
A trashcan assembly, comprising:
- (a) a container having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, a rim of said peripheral wall defining an opening extending into said container;
- and
- (b) a bag engaging member located on said peripheral wall, said bag engaging member including a housing having a lower wall, an upper wall, and a perimeter wall attached to and extending between said lower wall and said upper wall, said perimeter wall including a front wall having an aperture and a plurality of slots extending away from said aperture and defining a plurality of resiliently flexible sections such that a portion of a trash bag may be extended through said aperture and frictionally secured therein by said resiliently flexible sections, whereby a trash bag may be extended over said rim and secured to said peripheral wall with said bag engaging member.
A trashcan assembly, said assembly comprising:
- (a) a container having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, a rim of said peripheral wall defining an opening extending into said container;
- and
- (b) a bag engaging member located on said peripheral wall, said bag engaging member having a generally box-like shape with a front face and a back face, said front face having an arrangement of slits formed therein such that a portion of a trash bag may be extended through said arrangement of slits and frictionally secured by said arrangement of slits, whereby a trash bag may be extended over said rim and secured to said peripheral wall with said bag engaging member.
A trashcan assembly comprising:
- (a) a container having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, a rim of said peripheral wall defining an opening extending into said container;
- and
- (b) a bag engaging member located in an area of said peripheral wall, said bag engaging member including a housing separate from said peripheral wall, said housing having a surface that is generally parallel to a plane of said peripheral wall in said area, said surface including an aperture and a plurality of slots extending away from said aperture and defining a plurality of resiliently flexible sections such that a portion of a bag may be extended through said aperture and frictionally secured therein by said resiliently flexible sections, whereby a trash bag may be extended over said rim and secured to said peripheral wall with said bag engaging member.
A trashcan assembly comprising:
- (a) a container having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, a rim of said peripheral wall defining an opening extending into said container;
- and
- (b) a bag engaging member located in an area of said peripheral wall, said bag engaging member comprising a component separate from said peripheral wall and having a surface that is generally parallel to a plane of said peripheral wall in said area, said surface including an aperture and a plurality of slots extending away from said aperture, said slots defining a plurality of resiliently flexible sections between adjacent ones of said slots such that a portion of a bag may be extended through said aperture and frictionally secured therein by said resiliently flexible sections, whereby a trash bag may be extended over said rim and secured to said peripheral wall with said bag engaging member;
- (c) wherein said resilient flexible sections do not include pointed ends all converging at a common point.
